Interstate 80 spans 2,900 miles
across the United States. It begins in San Francisco and ends in
New York City. On Day One of the Fields Trip, I drove Interstate
80 from U.S. 81 near York, Nebraska, to Omaha; and on Day Two, I
drove the highway between Omaha and Interstate 380 near Iowa
City, Iowa. On Day Three, I drove Interstate 80 from U.S. 61 in
Davenport, Iowa, to Interstate 88 near E. Moline, Illinois.

"Welcome to
Iowa" sign on Interstate 80 East.
Interstate 29 is 1/4 mile ahead. The sign on the
right says "Interstate 80/29 South," which of
course, should say, Interstate 80 East/Interstate
29 South.

approaching Exit 298 -
Interstate 74 East - 1 mile. The blank space
underneath the Interstate 74 East normally
says "Peoria" and "1 Mile" but that
part has
been greened out due to construction on the
Interstate 74 Mississippi River bridge.

so the first few pictures from this day look a
little different.
